Nahita Cappadocia

Dining at Nahita was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The setting is stunning—that perfect blend of historic stone architecture and warm, elegant lighting. The food is on another level. It’s a sophisticated take on Anatolian cuisine without losing its authentic soul. The lamb was incredibly tender and served beautifully on a silver platter, and the appetizers (especially the homemade chips and the dolma) were fresh and flavorful. Even the simple bread and cheese course felt special. If you’re looking for an upscale dinner that feels true to the region, this is the place. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and cosy space for a quiet dinner. Brought my husband here for his 30th birthday. Corresponded with the hotel for booking and birthday cake surprise via email and they were prompt in their replies. The service from Ahmet was impeccable. We initially ordered some items from the menu but he gave us other recommendations and told us to trust him. AND WE WERE SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. So deeply grateful. Yagmur was really sweet too when we arrived she greeted us at the door and showed us to our seat. Made us feel welcomed. Highly recommend Nahita for those who want a lovely space for a quiet celebration.

Honestly one of the most elegant restaurants I’ve ever visited — even more impressive than many places in Istanbul! ✨ The atmosphere, service, and presentation were beyond my expectations. They treat you with pure class, and every detail feels intentional. Absolutely stunning experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An exceptional experience that truly reflects the spirit of Cappadocia. I really admire their commitment to locality — most of the ingredients are sourced within 60 km. Traditional Anatolian recipes are reinterpreted with a modern touch, keeping both flavor and culture alive. You can also feel their dedication to sustainability in every detail. What impressed me most is that many of the staff were born in Cappadocia, which adds a genuine sense of warmth and authenticity to the place. With its view, service, and cuisine, this is without a doubt one of the region’s most special dining destinations.

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Abdullah, and we can honestly say his service was outstanding from beginning to end. My friend and I have visited many restaurants in different countries, but the level of care, professionalism, and warmth we experienced here was truly exceptional. Not only was the service flawless, but the food was also incredible – every dish exceeded our expectations. We were both so impressed that if we didn’t have to travel back home the next day, we would have gladly returned again and again. A big thank you to Abdullah and the whole team for making our evening unforgettable. We will definitely be coming back on our next visit!

This restaurant, was the highlight of our trip to Cappadocia along with the balloon ride. Best restaurant of the region if you are looking for a romantic dinner with your spouse or significant other. My wife and I love to go out and enjoy a good meal back in the US or when we travel. We enjoy most places but there is always one or two dishes that we don’t like too much. Well, in this case, we LOVED every single dish we had for dinner. I honestly think you will have an extremely difficult time finding something you dont like at this restaurant. We had 4 appetizers and two full main courses, and when I say we LOVED every single one of them, its an understatement. The sizes are very generous and we were able to somehow eat it all because it was so good (yes we can eat a lot). No room for dessert unfortunately. The Pumkin soup suprised me, because I’m not a soup person. But Yalçin, our server, who is the best server we had in our trip, recommended it. It gets a 10/10. Amazing!! Then he also recommended the Muhammara starter, saying that it was his personal favorite from the whole menu. OMG it did not disappoint!!! WOW.. I can rate it as the BEST rare starter we had in Turkey. We don’t eat this kind of food back home in Miami, so we had no clue what to expect, but it blew our minds away. We also had a free appetizer they brought us which was some kind of local tortilla with local cheese and local butter. LOVED it!! And we also got the Hummus, Spectacular!! For the main courses we ordered a chicken with potatoes and vegetables. A+++ and for me I don’t know what I got since I just asked our server to bring me what he recommended (will leave a picture here) but I think it was some kind of Short Rib or Lamb with a special rice, almost like a rissotto but very unique. Again, a Home Run. It is a little pricier than your average restaurant in Cappadocia, but please believe me, its worth Every bit of your money!!! And also something I appreciated, Most places we went and tours that we did in this trip, at the end they ask you if you liked it. Then, if you say yes, then they tell you to please leave a review to keep the star rating high. Well, not here. Nobody asked us to leave a review but it was so good and we felt so great that I decided to take my time to do it because they deserve it.

One of the best experiences we had in Turkey: amazing views, local Anatolian food like no other place in Cappadocia. Abdullah and Asli gave us the best service ever/ absolute unique. Staff very helpful, kind and well trained. Thanks for the incredible experience Nahita Team! Abdullah, we love you! ❤️

Food was great, and service was excellent. Durmuş gave great recommendations and was very helpful throughout the meal!
